Are you rested yet, TFC?
Toronto FC returns to BMO Field Saturday after pulling off the Herculean task of securing a result in Honduras on Tuesday, allowing the team to move on in the CONCACAF Champions League. Nearly as impressive was the fact that the Reds scored a whopping two goals in less than 45 minutes.
Toronto hadn’t scored more than a single goal in a match since the May 29 road win over San Jose. In the two months between, TFC played nine games, scoring a total of five goals in the process. The wells had dried up as summer hit, making the two-goal second half that the Reds put together in Tegucigalpa a rare treat.

Ok, so that was entirely predictable.
Anyone who has followed TFC for a substantial amount of time would not have been surprised by last night’s away loss to lowly Kansas City Wizards, in a match that featured two teams that didn’t really look too interested.
That KC pulled off the 1-0 win — thanks to Teal Bunbury opportunistically pouncing on an uncharacteristic mistake from Toronto’s central defence — speaks more to TFC’s horrendous road form than it does to the Wizards’ play during the 90 minutes.

What a difference a month makes.
Before May, many TFC fans needed to be talked off the ledge, as the Reds struggled out of the gate under the new Preki regime. As the month comes to a close, some are now preparing the parade route.
Of course, the reality is that while Toronto is a good, hardworking club that has found its stride over the past four weeks, it’s still far too early to know which version of the team is the real one. That said, it’s hard not to be optimistic.

Well not really, but it will be Thursday, which just so happens to be the day of TFC’s fourth home opener against expansion Philadelphia Union.
BMO Field faithful will be heading to a vastly different stadium than they’ve become used to. The new $3.5 million natural grass surface is installed and cheerfully green, replacing the worn out artificial turf that was the bane o fmany a Toronto player’s existence. A new 1200- seat north stand now sits menacingly atop the old beer garden, forcing oppoing goalkeepers to take verbal abuse for the full 90 minutes.
